In the matter of the Distribution of Taxes for the year 1929 between School District No. 142 of Holt County, Nebraska, and School Dist rict No. 13 of Holt County, Nebras ka. To the Honorable Board of Super visors </f Holt County, Nebraska: MOTION Now comes School District No. 142 of Holt County, Nebraska, by Roy Lowery, its Treasurer, and moves this Honorable Board to vacate and set aside the Order made by it on the 9th day of July, 1929, between “Dis trict No. 13 and No. 142,' ’and to grant a re-hearing in snid matter for the following reasons: I. Because said Order is indefinite and gives no specific direction as to what shall be done. II. Because the action of the Board was taken merely upon motion by McKim, seconded by Gibson, that the value of the Northern Nebraska Power Plant be divided equally "be tween District No. 13 and No. 142.” III. Because said Motion does not show what is meant by “District No. 13 and No. 142.” IV. That if “District No. 13 and No. 142” were intended for school dist ricts, then they should have their legal designations, which they did not attain orreceive in the Motion or Resolution or this Honorable Board. V. Because every school district is a municipal corporation, and is a legal entity under the law of this state, and when action is taken in behalf of or against any school district, said school district must be designat ed by its number and the county in which it is located, and it cannot be ALL READY When the Gates swing open Fri day morning, August 30, we will be ready to prove all we have said about the State Fair.

It is a happy union of well balanced production, manufac turing and marketing operations from which will come a host of unusual advantages to the millions of customers and thousands of distributors. Wide Field for Crude Selection Out of a total area of more than two and one quarter million acres in eight states, Continental selects the crudes best suited for its manufactured products. Raw materials for oils, greases and gasolines may often come from widely sepa rated regions. Continental controls its own crude supply and chooses the best for each redoing operation and thus assures a standard uniform output from year to year. Strategic Location of Eight Refineries Economical and efficient operation of petroleum manufaC ^^efrec^jn^j^^^^^pmiMthjMelativHocationso^hcraw product, the refinery and the market. Continental is fortu nate in that its eight modern manufacturing plants ate well placed to afford prompt and economical delivery both before and after refinement. These properties arc located at Bald- j more, Maryland; Ponca City and Sapulpa, Oklahoma; Artesia and Farmington, New Mexicb; Wichita Falls, Texas; Florence, Colorado; and Glcnrock, Wyoming. Exclusive Processes Insure High Quality Continental refinery engineers enjoy a. national reputation in the oil business. Not only have they adopted the newesr and most efficient mechanical equipment for these big refin eries but they have designed machinery and developed pro cesses which are exclusive to this company. Under centralised control, these facilities now arc made available in the manu facture of petroleum products of exceptional quality. Conocoland Covers Tremendous Area More than forty years marketing experience has spread the distribution of Conoco products over an area which reaches from the western slope of the Rockies, far east to the Mississippi River. Practically half of the United States is dotted so closely with Conoco Stations that a motorist may drive anywhere in that tremendous area without introducing other than Conoco products to his car. The outposts of Conocoland range from the Pacific Noahwcst to the shores of the Great Lakes and from the Atlantic Seaboard to the California boundary. ^ Prestige Established in Foreign Lands The Continental coastwise and export fleet operate from terminals at Texas City.Texas; Newark, New Jersey; Balti more, Maryland; and Norfolk, Virginia; to a dozen foreign countries. Petrol pumps deliver Conoco gasoline to auto raobilists in the shires of England and Conoco motor oils lubricate industrial planes in north Europe, South America and the Orient. In brief, the joined forces of these two great companies afford greater, better service to the users of motor fuels and lubricants wherever the sign of the RedTriangle is displayed. THE GREATER CONTINENTAL OIL COMPANY PRODUCERS AND REFINERS OF CONOCO PETROLEUM PRODUCTS FILL UP AT A. and R. Service Station and Chevrolet Garage sued, or any action cannot be taken against it in any other way than as herein designated, which is the desig nation given by the Statute of this State. VI. Because “District No. 13 and No. 142" do not show what kind of Dist ricts they refer to, or khere the dist ricts are located, or the object arn^ purpose of th districts, or the crea tion thereof. VII. Because if “District No. 13 and 142 are irrigation districts, this Honor able Board would have no power or authority to make any order in the premises, such as made in this mat ter, and there is nothing to show, either by motion or order, what kind off districts are meant by District No. 13 and No. 142." VIII. Because if this Honorable Board attempted to make an order in rela tion to School District No. 142 of Holt County, Nebraska, and School District No. 13 of Holt County, Ne braska, then they were without auth ority to make any such an order purely upon motion, such as the rec ord in this case shows their order was made on. IX. Because all of the Northern Nebr aska Power Plant and the property thereunto belonging, which is situ ated in Holt. County, Nebraska, is all situated in School District No. 142 of Holt County, Nebraska. X. Because no part of the Northern Nebraska Power Plant or any of its property is located or situated in School District No. 13 or Holt Coun ty, Nebraska. XI. Because this Honorable Board has no jurisdiction, power or authority to divide the value of the Northern Nebraska Power Plant and the prop erty thereunto belonging for taxa tion purposes equalfe between School District No. 142 of Holt County, Ne braska and School District No. 13 of Holt County, Nebraska, for the reas on that no part of said property is located or situated in School Dist rict No. 13 of Holt County, Nebras ka. XII. Because this Honorable Board has no p|ower, right or authority to give one-half of the value of certain prop erty situate in School District No. 142 of Tolt County, Nebraska, in tax es derived therefrom to School Dist rict No. 13 of Holt County, Nebras ka. XIII. Because the division lien between School District No. 142 of Holt Coun ty, Nebraska, and School District No. 13 of Holt County, Nebraska, has been duly surveyed by the Surveyor of Holt County, Nebraska, and the line running North and South be tween said School Districts has been fully established, and that said line or division between said School Dis trict No. 112 of Holt County, Nebr aska and School District No. 13 of Holt County, Nebraska, is located East of the East side of the North ern Nebraska Power Plant, and is East of any property owned by said Northern Nebraska Power Plant, and all of said Northern Nebraska Power Plant and its property thereunto be longing which is situated in Holt County, Nebraska, is located in School District No. 142 of Holt Coun ty, Nebraska, and no part thereof is located in School District No. 13 of Holt County, Nebraska; and that by reason of these facts, this Honor able Board has no right or author ity to take the property or the value thereof of the Northern Nebraska Power Plant for taxation purposes away from School District No. 142 of Holt County, Nebraska, and set it over and give it for taxation pur poses to School District No. 13 of Holt County, Nebraska. XIV.
